[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 443897, member: 2862"] Many of the newer (95,96+) half ton trucks are rated for 7000lbs and up. This means that the brakes and suspension components have all been tested and found to be perfectly safe at those loads. What I don't like about newer vehicles is that they are designed, at higher payloads, to max out the springs and rest on the rubber stops. I think this leads to a bit of instability, so I'd still think about a set of overloads or airbags. Rod [/QUOTE]
